Creative people are very insecure people because they don't know whether people like them or are in awe of them. That insecurity always comes out. It makes them a better actor, I feel.

Everybody told me to stay in Hollywood. This was the place they said I could have a big career. What they failed to mention was that no one would quite know what to do with me.

One thing about me, as far as my career is concerned, is that I'm very confident. I know I'm good.

I only went to one Star Trek convention and that was in the late '80s. I hadn't gone to a convention before that. It was quite amusing, with the people dressed up and all of that.

I arrived in Hollywood and lived much of my life in America, but the fans did not really know me.

Gene Roddenberry was a genius.
